IMPROVEMENT IN DRAWER-PULLS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,893, dated March '24, 1874; application filed February 16, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN G. MoGLnLLAN, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Drawer-Pulls, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved pull. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same.

Like letters refer to like parts in the dilferent figures of the drawing.

My invention relates to that class of drawer-pulls which are provided with drop-knobs; and consists of a novel construction and arrangement of the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, by which a neat and durable pull is produced at a very low price.

The extreme simplicity of my invention renders an elaborate description unnecessary.

In Fig. 1, A is the body of the pull 5 B, the knob; O, the socket-bulb; and D, the slot through which the shank B is passed to insert the bulb 0 into the socket E, Fig. 2. The body A is intended to be fastened to the drawer by screws from the inside, in the or dinary manner, and when so fastened the slot 1), being on the under side of the pull, allows the knob B to fall down against the face of the drawer, the bulb 0 moving freely in the socket E, but prevented from being withdrawn by the narrowness of the slot.

All of the parts are constructed entirely of wood, the nature of the invention being such as to render the cost exceedingly small.

I am aware that a drawer-pull constructed of metal, and having a drop or gravitating knob arranged in a projecting stud, has long been in use, and I therefore do not claim the same broadly, my invention being essentially different from such a pull; but

What I claim is- The piece A, with its rectangular recess D and rounded recess E, and the knob B, with its globular end 0, combined to operate as a drawer-pull, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
